ZME Recommends: Make your kitchen cooler with these 6 dinosaurs

Add a bit of science and cuteness into your kitchen with these dinosaurs.

We don’t usually think of the kitchen as an interesting and attractive room, but it’s surprising just how much a few small things can change it. I’ve scoured the web to find an awesome way of doing just that: with dinosaurs! If you’re like me — you like dinosaurs and don’t want a dull kitchen — you might want to check these things out.

Dinosaur / Loch Ness monster ladle

If you think this is cute in a picture, you should see it live. I’m not really sure if this is a dinosaur or some mythical creature, but at the end of the day, does it really matter? It’s especially useful if you’re trying to convince kids to eat their soup, and I’ve developed quite a fondness for it myself. It looks even nicer inside inside the bowl.

If you like the idea but you’re just not a soup person, you might want to check…

Dinosaur tea infuser

They say the first one is a dinosaur and this one is Nessie — but let’s be honest here, they both look the same: adorable. I’ve been toying with different tea infusers for quite a while because I drink a lot of tea, and found that they bring an extra bit of magic to what is already a magical drink. Again, an awesome way to convince the kids of drinking their tea, but just as cool if you’re an adult. Firm quality, easy to use, easy to clean.

Dinosaur mug

What could go better with a dinosaur tea infuser than a dinosaur mug? But this isn’t just an ordinary mug — it changes its design based on temperature. So when it’s cold, you see the full skinned dinosaurs, and when it’s really hot, you see their skeleton. Add the dino-tea infuser to just make everything even more dinosaurier.

Tricera-taco holder

Oh boy, as if we needed another reason to eat tacos. Tricerataco has just the perfect shape to hold the delicious food, though it works just as fine as a napkin holder (because unfortunately, we just don’t eat taco every day). Or you can just switch between the two, use it to hold napkins (or whatever else), and switch it into full force for taco night.

Dinosaur wine bottle holder

No kitchen is complete without a bottle of wine. I love to cook with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food, the saying goes. Well, despite the design, your bottle is completely safe with this Tyrannosaur. You can also use it to hold beer or any other bottle — though I assume it’s made primarily for alcoholic drinks. After all, if the bottle goes empty too fast, you can just blame it on him.

Pastasaur

Tyrannosaurs and herbivores didn’t get along so well, but wine and pasta definitely do! Most people eat pasta more often than taco, and this does a fantastic job at scooping all sorts of pastas. Guaranteed to add a touch of whimsy and be a conversation starter for dinner.

With stories like this, we aim to show you neat and awesome products that we believe are good quality and different from what you usually see. We may take a cut from a purchase, but we will never promote something that we don’t believe in. If something’s here, it’s because we like it and that’s that.

Crowdfunding campaign reimagines apartment plant growing

As anyone who grows plants in an apartment will tell you, it can be quite a challenge. Space is limited, as is light and it’s so easy to make a mess – this is why I love this new project. It’s really easy to set up a small, cute garden in only minutes. It’s called Livi. […]

Today marks 50 years since Telstar's historic first live television broadcast by satellite

Exactly 50 years ago, on July 12 1962, the the world’s first active communications satellite, Telstar 1, transmitted the first live television signal by satellite. During this historic day, a live television program was for the first time beamed across the Atlantic in Europe, an event saluted by the people of the time as a technological […]

Infographic: the cost of SETI

As previously reported, SETI, the international organization which handles the search for electromagnetic transmissions from civilizations on distant planets, will shut down soon due to lack of funding. What’s really bothersome is that, although we all know we live in trouble economic times, the cost of keeping SETI going is simply peanuts for the US […]

Donate to tsunami victims in Japan

The recent tsunami wave that hit the Japanese coast this Friday simply devastated the countries costal areas. Besides the actual casualties (now reported to around 1,700), there are a few thousand people still isolated (footage of Japanese citizens stranded on rooftops have been circulating everywhere recently) and thousands more left homeless. The Japanese Government and […]

Smithsonian Wild - a database of wildlife photos 200,000 captured with automated cameras

Some animals in the wild are so elusive and hard to glimpse that they’re almost impossible to capture with a camera. This is why researchers often use trip cameras with motion sensors that film or photograph whenever an animal is in the vicinity. The Smithsonian today launched a new searchable website, siwild.si.edu, that presents more […]

Abandoned dog saves 12 lives

Animals are great; if you’re not convinced, perhaps the story of Pearl, a black lab abandoned at an animal shelter will change your mind. Pearl was adopted by the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, where after training she was certified as a search dog. In July this year, she was deployed to Haiti for two […]

The 'No small matter' giveaway

Hello! I’ve been running ZME Science for more than 2 years now, and the support you’ve shown has been increasingly amazing! However, much to my shame, I’ve rarely thanked you like you deserve it.
